Web app (single product focus) A focused web app: core flows (e.g. signup, one main feature, basic dashboard), simple UI, and hosted on a standard stack (e.g. Next.js, Node). No heavy custom design or many integrations. Typical: ₹5–8 lakh, 6–10 weeks.

Mobile app (one platform or cross-platform) A single-platform (e.g. Android) or cross-platform (Flutter/React Native) MVP with one core flow. Simple UI, API integration, and basic auth. Typical: ₹6–9 lakh, 8–12 weeks.

Landing page + waitlist or simple web tool Landing page, waitlist or lead capture, and a very simple tool (e.g. calculator, configurator). Good to validate interest before a full app. Typical: ₹1.5–3 lakh, 2–4 weeks.

• ✔Avoid building for iOS and Android separately—use Flutter or React Native for one codebase.
• ✔One or two core features only; defer "nice to have" to v2.
• ✔Use standard UI components and templates; limit custom design.
• ✔Use managed services (hosting, DB) instead of building from scratch.
• ✔Skip complex integrations in v1; add after validation.

Define one core problem – Your MVP should do one thing well. Write it in one sentence and stick to it.

Pick the right team – Choose a Chennai team that has built MVPs before and is willing to prioritise and cut scope. Ask for fixed price and milestones.

Plan for iteration – Budget a small buffer (time or money) for post-launch fixes and one round of feedback. Avoid gold-plating before launch.

Clear scope document, fixed price or capped time, regular demos, and code handover. You should own the repo and be able to maintain or scale with the same or another team. Hendoi has delivered MVPs under ₹10 lakh for Chennai startups; we can scope yours and give a transparent quote. Get in touch.
